I have a jeep, had it for 11 years, and, I seem to go through a radiator every 2 years, im on radiator #3, and im getting fed up. stock radiator gave out around 75k, and have had to put a new radiator in every 12-15k miles since. I run green coolant, but, coolant shouldnt effect plastic, so, I attribute this to low quality parts.
when I had the mopar stock radiator in there, my jeep woild heat up to about 210deg and my heater was hot as hell, after several radiator replacements with plastic capped radiators, I run about 200deg. factory radiator cap was 18lbs, and ive been running a 13, because my radiator seals blow regularly. I know I have vaccuum leaks on the heater mixing flap and stuff, so, it runs cooler because of not building reccomended pressures, but... if I put a heavier cap, id blow my radiator faster...
my jeep has 112,xxx miles on it, and I consider it unreliable vecause I dont know when or where my radiator will blow next.
has anybody had radiator issues with thier 4.0L?
anybody know if a metal tank radiator for a jeep 4.0 that isnt 800$?
